Music Video Techniques

number of cuts


good - cold play charily brown
This video is a very  good example of a music video that has a large number of cuts. Coldplay's  music video is a very fast and up beat music video. the song is lively you can see  this at 1:28 the cut to the song and the visuals all match each other at the correct  pace, which creates the audience to feel that they are in the in the video. the cuts in this video makes it more enjoyable to watch. 






bad - eminem stan

This video is a very  bad example of a music video that has a large number of cuts. eminem's  music video is not a very fast or a up beat music video. the song is not very lively you can see  this at 2:02 the cut to the song and the visuals do not all match each other at the correct  pace, which creates the audience to not feel that they are in the in the video. the cuts in this video makes it less enjoyable to watch. 



special effects


good - b.o.b nothin on you



this video has good special effects because it makes very realistic. Special effects is used in video a lot for example at 0:05 they use animations with paper collages and it very effective and it makes it a very good music video with special effects and it very creative because it makes the video very enjoyable to watch. when they show B.O.B and Bruno Mars there is animations paper stencils behind them.

bad Justin Timberlake rock your body a music video that has bad special effects is rock your body by Justin Timberlake.
Justin Timberlake's music video has only one special effect this makes it look like he hardly had  no money to spend on this  music video. The graphics look like the Justin Timberlake is just in one room like a cube with flashbulbs flashing different colours it looks really cheap and very tacky and unprofessional. the graphic in this video vas very poor, for example at 1:56 the special effect was very boring. 








cut to the beat

good-  Ne-yo miss independent 
this is a good example of a music video that cuts to the beat because the beat in the song does cuts ti the beat of the mood a lot. for example at 0:52 he is happy and when you see his facial expression it cuts to the beat very well.






bad- get her back 
A really bad example for cutting to the beat is ''get her back'' by Robin Thicke the  music video shows him trying to get back with his wife and it dose cut to the beat but not good for example at 0:26 it cuts to the beat but it so bad and half of the time in the video it hardly cuts to the beat.




















varied camera language

good T- pain Buy U A Drank
this T-pain video is a good example of a music video that use good camera language for example you can see  at 1:25 you see that the camera language is really good because when the camera is on T- pain it shows how his body language is and you can see a mid shot of T-pains body and it is really good.














bad-Michael   Jackson this is the way you make me feel
Michael Jackson The Way You Make Me Feel is  a really bad of  varied camera language because  at 01:41 it shows a long shot of Michael Jackson just standing there and the camera language is too basic and it's really not  that interesting to watch and it is poor.This technique is used in this music video because he's trying to explain to this girl how she makes him feel.


















lip syncing

gooBeyonce Crazy in love
 this a good example because at 00:27 it shows her dancing a lot and she is lip synching the words because she is  dancing a lot. Lip-synching is used in this video because she's doing a lot of dancing. you can see at 0:30 and the lip syncing is very good in this video.












bad Selena  Gomez come and get it
this is a bad example of lip syncing because she is in time with beat and she dose not look like she is actuarially singing the song for example at 0:58 her movement of her lips is too much and it dose match the song or the order of the words. 











green screen  

good- 
Beyonce ft. Lady gaga - Telphone
this is a good example of green screen because it is very realistic and it very believable.  The use of green screen in this music video is used when Beyonce and lady gaga are in a car, the green screen to  make the video have a more realistic effect that the car is driving down a road you can see this at 5:00.




bad- twist and shout


This is an example of a very bad green screen video, the use of green screen is not  creative and looks so  unrealistic as it cut half of his body off half  of the times. you can use this at 0:36 that half of his body is not there and that is very bad it also looks he did not spend a lot of money for this video as the green screen looks tacky and poor.
